Somnuri announce new album ‘Desiderium’

SOMNURI have announced a new album!

Titled Desiderium, the upcoming album from the New York City-based sludge metal band is their third full-length album and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via MNRK Heavy.

Recorded at GOJIRA’s Silver Cord Studios, mixed by Justin Mantooth at Westend Studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege Mastering, on Desiderium, the band intends to showcase a sound that seamlessly weaves through a variety of tempos and sounds, giving some well-trodden genres new roads to travel.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; What A Way To Go. Speaking about the new song, drummer Phil SanGiacomo says, What A Way To Go is an anti-authoritarian kick in the teeth. With all of the corruption in the world, it’s hard not to feel like you’re being buried alive sometimes, the song came about while trying to vent that frustration. It’s straight to the point and urgent, with less twists and turns than some of our other material.”

Vocalist/guitarist Justin Sherrell adds,Susan Hunt, who directed the video, captured the imagery perfectly along with a sense of being hounded and surveilled. This is the first single from our new album, Desiderium, and we couldn’t be more excited to set the tone with it and let people know what kind of energy they can expect this time. The album is the pinnacle of our sound thus far and we can’t wait to unleash it.”
